Intel Ivy Bridge delayed until June

Ivy Bridge were suppose to launch sometime in March/April according to some roadmaps from Intel. However, the transition to the new 22nm tri-gates transistors hasn't gone according to plans and a spokesperson from Intel said "I think maybe it’s June now" when asked about the Ivy Bridge release date.
Full article can be found on Financial Times' website.
Speaking of Intel, they announced that they will have mobile Atom chips built upon 13nm transistors by 2014, and 8nm in 2015 (which might require them to change from silicon to some other material) Hopefully these deadlines will be met.

MWC part 3

Seems like not much has been announced since my last MWC article but there are a few things I ignored yesterday and the day before that so let's look at those.

MWC part 1

So the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012 will start tomorrow but it seems like there are already a few interesting things popping up. I think I will be doing a few MWC related posts where I pick out what I found most interesting. That means I will most likely skip a few things like for example what phones Huawei announces.

List of Seasonic manufactured PSUs

Seasonic makes some of the best power supplies on the market, and there are a ton of rebranded Seasonic power supplies. If a power supply is a rebranded Seasonic unit, then you can safely say it's a high quality unit, so here is a list of Seasonic built units.

Aluminium and laptops

Okay... Most people will agree that the Macbook Pro, as well as the Macbook Air feel very solidly built and that aluminium for electronic devices makes them feel very high quality, but is it really that good?
I've talked about this quite a lot on /g/ so I thought I should write a blog post on it, so that I don't have to repeat myself so much.

So aluminium, a very nice metal used in a wide variety of things from soda cans to aircrafts, and lots of laptops these days. It's very light and quite durable but there are a few things I dislike about it.

Pornsite password

Most of you probably already know this, but if you're using a certain pornsite (which I won't name on here) then make sure you don't have the same password on the account and your email. I know lots of people have the same password for everything and that's a very bad idea. Especially when some websites store passwords, emails and usernames in plain text, which can be accessed through a standard webbrowsing.

Microsoft mocks Google in video on Youtube

Oh boy this video is great. I love lots of Google products (I am using Blogger right now) but this video really hit the right spots.
The first part of the video and the songs are kind of bad, but the interview is pure gold.
The video: Googlighting
I should probably point out that this isn't the first time Microsoft makes fun of Google.

Why Gizmodo is a shitty site

It's been quite a long time since I sat down and read an article on Gizmodo so I decided to do that today, and I instantly remembered why I quit reading their crap they like to call "articles".

It's Time to Exterminate the Mouse
With a title like that (and being on one of worst technology related blogs on the Internet, Gizmodo) you know you're in for a pile of ignorance and Apple !@#" sucking.

Here are some (mostly terrible) technology and science related jokes which you may or may not find amusing.

My thoughts on OS X Mountain Lion

So Apple recently (and very silently) announced Mountain Lion on their website. It is currently only available for developers but will be released around summer for consumers.
So what is Apple adding this time? Well Apple describes it as "bringing some of the fundamental elements of the iPad experience to the Mac" and so far they have revealed 10 new things. They might add more before the final release but I doubt that they will add anything major. So what are those 10 features?

First post

So I've made a blog... Not really sure what I am going to write on here but James (lolicon) told me that I can't continue using MSN as my personal blog because he is getting sick of listening to my crap.
I will most likely just write whatever I feel like at the moment on here and don't expect anyone to actually read it.
